How high are the rents?
There is no official analysis of cooperative rents for Lucerne. The nationwide Sotomo study (2017) serves as orientation: in large core cities the net rent of a 3-room cooperative flat was about 26 per cent below that of a comparable rental flat, in small agglomerations considerably less. The figures date from 2010 to 2014 and only show the order of magnitude.
Applying, waiting lists and shares
At many Lucerne cooperatives the application starts with membership. The share certificates are repayable equity; the amount depends on the cooperative and the flat. Ask the cooperatives whether they keep a waiting list or only offer vacant flats to members.
A complete application file with a debt enforcement register extract and salary slips speeds up the application. Also check the occupancy rules of the cooperative in question, because the number of rooms usually has to match the household size.
More on shares, waiting lists and income limits is in the Guides on cooperative flats, and an overview of open lists is on the Waiting lists.
